But they know comparatively little of those stormy years which Intervened between the signing of the treaty of peace and the adoption of the Constitution, ncr of the troubled wafers through which the new ship of state was compelled to sail before it reached a safe haven. Least of all do they realize that scarcely was the Revolution over than these new states, not yet truly united states even though there was a federal government, almost had a revolution of their own upon their hands. It will be a surprise to many to know that there was a time in the early history of our nation when the people of one section of the country were looking upon those of another as oppressors, just as much as the Thirteen Colonies had looked upon King George and his ministers as tyrannical rulers, were threatening to fight for their independence so that they could set up a union of their own and were even seeking foreign aid in their project!

But the situation which brought the men of thp western waters" to the verge of a revolution against their brethren on the Atlantic seaboard is found in the lontest between Spain and the new Republic for control over the Old Southwest (shown in the map above) and the crux of that situu'ion which readied a climax Just 140 years ago was whether d I l or not 'Spain had the right to close the Mississippi to tiie fiontiersmen who had settled in that In one of the chapters in The Spuuish-AmeiicaFrontier" Doctor Whitaker tells of that littl; known chapter in American history as follows : EgRBARDO EE GAZVZZ ter-ritoi- n By the very mode of Its settlement, the West of our period was dedicated to particularism (I e. the theory which leaves each state in a federation free to promote its own interests without retrard to the whole) Its communities were established by the individual initiative of land speculator and pioneer in flat defiance of the colonial governments of North Carolina and Virginia as in the case of the Holston settlements of western North Carolina and Richard Hendersons colony of Transylvania in Kentucky or with at most the passive acquiescence 6f the revolutionary slate governments, as in the case of Cumberland By their ow rt efforts these settlements maintained themselves, receiving from the foster-parestate little more than the skeleton of government, which thev themselves had to invest with living substance The frontiersmen felt that the Atlantic states were much more interested in western lands than In western people, and that even with the best will In the world legislatures sitting at Williamsburg, Va , and Hillsborough, N C, were incapacitated by remoteness and the Intervening mountains from giving good government to the Mississippi valley settlements Current ideas with regard to natural frontiers and the economic basis of political systems pointed to the erection of these western communities Into separate states with equal membership in the Federal Union, If Indeed they remained a part of it at all The example of the American Revolution, so vividly recent, exerted a powerful Influence over the frontiersmen, who now thought of themselves, as plaving the part of oppressed colonists, with the Atlantic governments Ir, the role of the tyrant formerly filled by George III Declaiming in the manner of Patrick Henrv and Samuel Adams against taxation and misgovernment, the frontiersmen followed the process through Its various stages of conventions, petitions nnd remonstrances to the culminating step of a declaration of Inde-- , pentlence.
